Uprooted Rose

Breaking fabrics of our relationship

Showed rusty glitz

Like dusty aging plastic tits

The gleams of my love light died

Like fading hope of repudiated seeds

So I saw we were just two souls

Cocooned in secrecy of one fleshly room

Dancing out of sync with the rhythm of one heart

Just two spirits intertwined repeatedly

In raging wars with each other

Then I realized without the use of

Rotating swords, gazing guns

And swinging knives

We had to break-up…….
